Summer in the saddle: performance, comfort, and safety with Ducati Apparel


Technical apparel designed to enjoy every motorcycle journey with protection and personality
Advanced technology for those who demand safety, on any type of route
Certified, ventilated, and comfortable garments for maximum riding pleasure, alone or with a partner


Borgo Panigale (Bologna, Italy), 18 July 2025 – Design, performance, and safety come together in the new Ducati touring apparel. Designed for those who love to travel on two wheels, alone or with a partner, even on the hottest days, these products combine technical materials and unmistakable style. The Tour Summer C1 jacket and pants set, the Strada Tour V5 helmet, and the Ducati Smart Air airbag vest offer a complete outfit for tackling every journey protected and with personality.

Tour Summer C1: Maximum Ventilation, Comfort, and Safety
Riding a motorcycle in the summer requires technical apparel that guarantees protection, comfort, and freshness even on the hottest days. The Tour Summer C1 outfit, developed by Spidi exclusively for Ducati, is designed for those who love touring on two wheels even in hot weather and want to do so in complete safety, with maximum ventilation and freedom of movement.

Made with breathable and abrasion-resistant materials, it consists of a ventilated jacket and ergonomic pants, both available in men's and women's versions, for a perfect fit every time. The jacket is made of polyester mesh with stretch Tenax fabric inserts, which promote ventilation and ensure lightness and durability. The large mesh areas promote a generous airflow, keeping the body cool even after many hours on the bike. It features a waterproof, windproof, and breathable H2Out® membrane in a two-layer laminated fabric. Completely detachable, it can also be used as a standalone garment in rain or wind. The interior is equipped with Warrior Lite protectors on the shoulders and elbows, and is designed for the insertion of an optional back protector. The soft neoprene cuffs, a convenient internal waterproof pocket for documents and personal items, and a large rear pocket for storing the membrane when not in use complete this practical, functional, and carefully detailed garment. Reflex prints improve visibility in low-light conditions and add a touch of style to the unmistakable Ducati red.

The Tour Summer C1 trousers, specifically designed for summer touring, are the ideal complement to the jacket. Made from breathable, durable, and CE-certified fabrics, they feature a construction designed to offer protection and comfort even on longer rides. They feature a laminated and heat-sealed H2Out® membrane that is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, and is completely detachable to easily adapt to changing weather conditions. Large mesh panels improve heat dissipation, while strategically placed stretch inserts - on the groin, back, and above the knee - ensure flexibility, an ergonomic fit, and complete freedom of movement. They can also be worn with off-road boots, perfect for safely tackling every curve. Both items feature a connecting zip, creating a coordinated, practical, and functional look that pairs perfectly with all the other pieces in the collection.

Strada Tour V5 Helmet: Protection and versatility for true globetrotters
For the most adventurous trips, the Strada Tour V5 helmet, developed by Ducati based on Arai and enhanced with exclusive graphics by Drudi Performance, is designed for motorcyclists who love to explore, alternating long journeys on asphalt with more technical and challenging routes, even off-road. Versatile and high-performance, it is aimed at all Ducatisti seeking a safe, reliable travel companion capable of adapting to any condition.

Protection is guaranteed by the Super Fibre Laminate (SFL) outer shell, which combines lightness and strength, and the patented multi-density EPS inner shell, designed to offer an optimal impact response thanks to variable density zones. Hyper Ridge technology, with reinforcement ribs at the base of the shell, improves the helmet's structural strength and helps lower its centre of gravity, improving stability and ergonomics while riding. In an emergency, the exclusive Emergency Release system allows for the quick and safe removal of the cheek pads and neck protector, while integrated reflective inserts increase the visibility of the rider in low-light conditions or at night.

Designed for maximum versatility, the Strada Tour V5 helmet can be configured in different combinations with peak, visor, and goggles, to perfectly adapt to any riding style and terrain. The removable, washable, and hypoallergenic Dry-Cool fabric interiors ensure freshness and hygiene even on the longest rides and hottest days. The advanced ventilation system ensures a continuous and regulated flow of air, thanks to numerous inlets on the peak, visor, and chin guard with filter, as well as lower side vents and extractors positioned at the nape of the neck and the rear of the shell. The result is optimal thermal comfort, even during prolonged use. The features are completed by the Facial Contour System (FCS), which facilitates the fitting and ensures a more stable and comfortable wearability, and the ergonomic construction, which guarantees an excellent balance between protection and practicality.

Ducati Smart Air: Travel safely, always
From the longest and most adventurous journey to everyday city travel, Ducati adds the Smart Air to its 2025 Apparel lineup, a fabric vest with an integrated airbag developed in collaboration with Dainese and designed for all Ducatisti who want to tackle every mile with peace of mind, without sacrificing freedom and style.

Ducati Smart Air is the ultimate garment for those who love short trips, longer journeys, and even daily explorations, thanks to a unique combination of versatility, protection, and innovation. The integrated D-air® system , completely autonomous and without any physical connection to the motorcycle, activates in the event of a slide, impact, dismounting, or rear-end collision, even when the vehicle is stationary, ensuring maximum responsiveness in all conditions. Inside, the patented airbag with a microfilament structure inflates in a uniform and controlled manner, offering CE-certified Level 2 protection on the chest and back: a level of safety equal to that of seven traditional back protectors, but with significantly less bulk and weight.

The unisex design, close fit, and the ability to wear it over or under any jacket make it extremely practical and compatible with any riding style. Available in three universally adjustable sizes, it easily covers a wide range of body types, from XS to XXL. The Road Shield 3X inflatable system allows up to three activations by simply replacing the cartridge, without the need for any technical intervention, while the rechargeable battery offers up to 12 hours of continuous operation, to accompany even the longest outings. The vest also features an integrated multicolour LED that indicates the system status and a practical and functional external pocket. Once purchased, Ducati Smart Air must be registered via the D-air® app, which allows the user to monitor the device's status in real time, receive software updates, view the number of remaining activations, and activate the "Shipping Mode" for safe storage during long periods of non-use or transport, even by air. The result is a technologically advanced, lightweight, compact, and ventilated garment, perfect for those who want to travel with a clear mind, knowing they are protected by an intelligent, intuitive system that is ready to kick in only when really needed.
